Meeting-room privacy & open-plan noise control
Two different office problems get called the same thing: conversations carrying out of a meeting room, and an open-plan floor that is simply too loud to concentrate in. They need opposite solutions.
Privacy is about blocking sound: dense partitions built properly to the slab rather than stopping at the suspended ceiling, sealed service penetrations, acoustic doors and glazing, and isolation above the ceiling grid where sound flanks from room to room. Most meeting-room leaks we find are in the ceiling void, not the wall.
Open-plan noise is about absorption instead: soft, high-performance surfaces on ceilings and walls to pull reverberation down so speech stops carrying across the floor. We survey, tell you which of the two problems you actually have, and price the work to be done evenings or weekends so nobody loses a working day.
